The 21st century has seen both successes and failures for the United
States. We are barely two decades into the 21st century, so it is
difficult to predict what it will signify for the larger scope of history.
We may argue that this century has already seen quite a few events,
and that this trend will probably continue.
Native American life throughout the 20th and early 21st centuries
has been distinguished by similarities to and deviations from the
historical trends. The enduring multiplicity of local ethnic and
political identities is one of the more striking continuities. The
government of Canada's Dominion formally recognised more than
600 indigenous bands or tribes in 2000, and the government of the
United States did the same for an additional 560. These figures were
gradually rising as more organisations undertook the challenging
process of obtaining formal recognition.
Since the start of the 20th century, the Native American population
has continued to rebound from the startling losses of the colonial
era. According to census data from 2006, there were 1.17 million
Canadians who identified as having Native American ancestry, or
about 4% of the total population. Of them, 975,000 persons had their
heritage recognised by the dominion as being of First Nation, Métis,
or Inuit descent. Fewer than one million of these self-identified
individuals were, however, acknowledged by the government as
having native origin. According to U.S. census data from 2000, 4.3
million people, or 1-2 percent of the population, claimed to be of
Native American descent.
